Login

I am working on a project using netbeans to write a program for a database creation and MS Access as my DB. I designed the login form using Netbeans JFrame option I am able to call up the next window but I dont know how to write the part of the code that should make the login window go off at the same single click that prompts the Application Form window.
The login form should be able to access a database where possible login ID and password have been saved.

A full source code on a login form design and a button that calls up the next window and disposes of the login form would be highly appreciated.

I would make the Login window a JPanel that is placed in a JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog, one that is called from the main window that might be non-visible at the time Login is shown, and then made visible immediately after Login exits. The Java tutorials on JOptionPanes can show you how to use these guys, and we can help you if get stuck at any spot.

I wouldn't even do this. I'd just have Login display two fields to get the user's name and password, and then after the JOptionPane that holds Login has been dealt with (a button has been clicked) get the user's name and password from the fields held by Login and have the main application check to see if they are valid, and then decide where the program should go from there.

This request is considered cheating on this forum and will not be tolerated. Please retract this. Please note that we don't care if this is an academic assignment or not since it matters not whether you are cheating your classmates or cheating yourself -- it remains cheating nonetheless.

it aint cheating in any way. I need help with the portion that disiposes the login window and calls up the next form. It is a
class project and we are allowed to source for assistance where we find difficult. My request for the full source code is just so I can appreciate the progress of the program soucre code. Note, the project contains an application form, an update form and a report form which my group and I have successfully completed.

Regardless if your teacher doesn't consider it bad, regardless if it's not even for school, a request for "the code" is not proper here and not looked kindly upon. We will be more than happy to help you work through your own code, and this should be sufficient, you think?

We can debate this further if you want, or we can help answer any further programming questions you may have. Myself I prefer the latter.

Regarding disposal of the login window, I've given you a suggestion in my first post.

What have you done so far. Atleast tell us the event you have writhen and and how we could help u.

most of the time u may have done an sql statement that will query the database for username and password

Code:

---

String  query = "Select *Frome userTable where user ="user" && "pass="password"";

---

sometimes

Code:

---

btn.addactionListener(this)

---

Code:

---

public void action actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
  String user == jTextField.getText();
  String pass == jTextField.getText();

  if(user == "" && pass==""){
  //do sometines
  }
}

---

There are some flaws in your snippet Ewain.

Code:

---

String user == jTextField.getText();

---

Doesn't do assignment like you expect, you added an extra '=' and it should be

Code:

---

String user = jTextField.getText();
String pass = jTextField.getText();
